Exclusive: Lawyers order Parliament to stop publishing super-injunction document
MPs and peers have been warned that they face diplomatic repercussions unless they remove a document detailing aspects of one of Britains last remaining super-injunctions from the Parliamentary record.
Archerfield Partners, a firm of solicitors acting for the ex-wife of an unnamed Asian head of state, made a series of threats against the joint Parliamentary Committee on Privacy and Injunctions, made up of 26 MPs and peers.

The attempt to bully the committee threatens to undermine the supremacy of Parliament and follows widespread criticism of British courts for injuncting the publication of information.

He said the Asian head of state was a substantial backer of al-Qaeda, and had advance warning of the suicide bombings on Londons transport system in 2005.

the context of this submission to reveal her identity. I will also take careful steps to avoid
calculation of her identity although its quite clear that there is already a significant amount of
unsavoury publicity about this person already in the pubic domain. A fact that makes the superinjunction
referred to in this submission somewhat questionable.
...
Information/allegations relating to steps taken by the Claimant to secure
payment of a £61m judgment debt from members of her family, of which I am
the beneficiary (including the fact that such steps have been taken at all);
...
Any information calculated to identify the Claimant as the claimant in English
proceedings against another individual or as the plaintiff in Australian
proceedings against another individual, whom has since been assassinated, and a
company that he controlled;
...
That the Claimant had been the victim of sexual harassment by a high profile UK
Arab businessman and former proprietor of a substantial UK retailer;

Much more there (page 66 onwards for the super-injunction stuff; it's a 791 page document). We're deep into conspiracy territory here.

(101,358 posts)I didn't bother looking up his name, I just went to the Parliament site.
With so much already available on Australian websites (and The Guardian, for that matter), withholding name seems useless. I wonder if the super-injunction is useless too - perhaps there are aspects which aren't already public somewhere.

(9,154 posts)Question: See OP.
It is important to note there are big differences in the phrase 'reporting of history' and the word 'history', the latter only occurring once in a timeline of sequential moments. One potential fallacy seems to be that the reporting of history correlates to history itself. If the reporting of history changes, do we actually change the past? Or do we only create a false rendition of history?
If there's evidence we can change the past simply by changing mass perceptions in the now and moments following it, I mean, like WOW!
